Description from the customer report: "during priming, it was found that the priming solution was leaking from the luer lock (upper one on the blood outlet side).Changed to another closing caps such as 3 way cock instead of original closing cap, however, the leakage didn't stop.The customer replaced the oxygenator to another hmo70000, put on the closing caps, and then restarted priming."

(b)(4).Maquet cardiopulmonary (b)(4) received the product for investigation.A visual inspection was performed.Thereby it was noticed, that a foreign 3-way stop cock was fixed on upper luer lock on blood outlet side.The original screw cap was not delivered.During visual inspection several cracks have been noticed at the upper luer lock on blood outlet side.Because of these cracks the cone was not able to seal tight.The leakage was most probable caused by cracks at the luer lock on upper blood outlet side.Therefore the reported failure could be confirmed.Investigation is still pending.A supplemental medwatch will be submitted as soon as further information becomes available.
